Last night, I had some trouble sleeping. Menopause will do that. Anyway, I got to thinking of Ty going to the bridge almost 2 years ago. Teary eyed at that, I then started thinking of my Aussie, collie mix that I sent to the bridge 19 years ago. You see, I left her in that room. The vet told Hubby " Get her out of here" because I was hysterical. She was my baby for 14 years. Of course I was! As I was leaving, she tilted her head back and looked at me. I can still see it. It still breaks my heart after all these years. I left her when she needed me most. It was an emergency and on a Sunday. Anyway, today, I am heading over the mountain to work and I see this dog hobbling right in the center of the road. At first, I think she has been hit. I pulled over and prayed that the cars behind me see her. She seemed skittish and ran from me. Then I notice she is a Tripawd. She is hobbling because she is an elderly Tripawd, not injured. I got in my purse and rattled my Tums bag. I was able to go over and pick her up. She had some fur missing ( chewed off?) on her backend. Looked like maybe a stray. She only weighed about 20 or 25 lbs. She felt just right in my arms. It was like looking into Muffin's eyes 20 years ago. I am heading for my car thinking that I will take her to work and then get on Facebook and see if someone is missing her. Hubby would have hung me out on the clothesline if I had brought her home. I got away with the 3rd, but a 4th would send him right over the edge.😀  So as I am walking toward my car carrying this dog, I spot a man walking up the road. Asking if he knew Nything about the dog, he replied that it is just the neighbors dog and she follows him when he walks his dog . I said she was in the middle of the road and had no tags, just a pink collar, that is how I knew she was a girl. Hopefully, he will pass along how close they came to not having her today. She was smack cob on the center line and people fly on that road. He said to just put her down and she would follow him home. I felt almost like she was sent to me today...... A Tripawd that looks so much like my Muffin. My Tripawd at the Bridge and my Muffin also and after I was just feeling so sad last night. When the man called her to follow him he called out her name: It was JOY!
